Shaw-IAU Workshops by the OAE

Project based learning and inclusive education is a way to promote Astronomy Education, STEAM subjects, to develop skills: critical thinking, problem solving or inter and transdisciplinary approach communication. Teachers and students from all over the country, or world, can work together, supervised by teachers for Sciences, Astronomy, and astronomers by Science, Technology, Arts and Mathematics activities. We would like to present you the way we can teach astronomy using practical and attractive, non-formal methods, linked to outdoor education and CLIL. It is innovative and creative. Children from primary schools can work with secondary and high school students to ensure peer and collaboration learning. In August, we will organise a conference and we wish to present also its results.
